A (in)visibilidade das mulheres na política de drogas: uma perspectiva de análise da política de atenção a usuários de drogas no Brasil

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze, in a synchronic and diachronic way, the national drug policy and its perspective on gender issues from 2010 to 2020. The study will be developed based on documentary research carried out in four documents on the topic which present a centrality and prominence in national drug policies in Brazil. Noting that the situation and conditions of women in public policies regarding drugs are treated and experienced differently in relation to other social segments, since their bodies are crossed by sexism and unique factors that are part of gender issues, which is why this research will seek a transversal view to understand “how” these policies encompass these specificities. Public domain documents were analyzed to identify and analyze the research problem from a constructionist perspective of social psychology, which considers both historical and relational aspects as well as the construction of the dynamics surrounding the problem. What the documents present is a lack of approach to the gender issue or even just generic references to the woman/female segment as citations about it from a population perspective and not as a matter of analysis, care or policy.
